Students in one of the technical education classes at Columbus Catholic High School test drive one of the creations they designed as a 10-week project in class. The students had to come up with a project, which they had to design and build, that would challenge their skills. They had to gather the items they needed to build their creation and use the skills they had learned to complete the project. Ethan Badzinski and Nate Pospyhalla get ready to drive their three-wheeled snowmobile powered by a snowblower engine, as Cole Mushel and other students observe.

The City-wide Geography Bee was held Jan. 10 at Lincoln Elementary School. The citywide bee is open to students in grades four, five and six who have excelled in the respective school competition in December. Twenty-eight participants representing Grant, Lincoln, Madison, Nasonville, Trinity Lutheran and Washington elementary schools competed.

The school champions will have an opportunity to take a written examination to qualify for the State Geography Bee in the spring.

Nikita Gonugunta was the 2013 City wide Geography Bee champion.

The Marshfield Kiwanis Club and the School District of Marshfield sponsor the Geography Bee under the auspices of the National Geographic Society.

Marshfield Middle School

David Gui, a seventh-grader at Marshfield Middle School, won the school-level competition of the National Geographic Bee on Jan. 16, and a chance at a $25,000 college scholarship. The school-level Bee, at which students answered oral questions on geography, was the first round in the 25th annual National Geographic Bee.

The school winners, including Gui, now will take a written test; up to 100 of the top scorers in each state will be eligible to compete in their state Bee on April 5.

Everyone can test their geography knowledge with the new and exciting GeoBee Challenge, an online geography quiz at www.nationalgeographic.com/geobee, which poses 10 new questions a day.
